Kick achieved outstanding performance in the first month of summer. In June, the platform set new records in two key metrics: total Hours Watched and peak concurrent viewers. Additionally, Kick reached a significant milestone by setting a new record for the number of unique games (categories) streamed.
All the important statistics from Kick’s run in June 2024
In June, Kick streams generated over 187.2 million Hours Watched, the highest since the platform's launch. This represents a 2% increase from the previous month, continuing a five-month streak of growth in this metric. Additionally, the platform set a new record for peak concurrent viewers, with over 1.14 million people watching simultaneously. This is the second consecutive month that Kick has exceeded one million concurrent viewers.
Other metrics remained mostly stable. The number of channels and the average number of viewers were similar to May's figures, with fluctuations of only 2-4%.

In June, the Old School RuneScape category garnered over 4.7 million HW, climbing seven positions in Kick's top categories. Nearly half of this was achieved by the American streamer Odablock.
The release of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion boosted Elden Ring's popularity across all platforms, including Kick. Streams of the game generated over 4.1 million HW in June, raising the game six positions in the rankings.
Additionally, the IRL category, launched by Kick's administration at the end of June, secured the seventh spot with 4.2 million Hours Watched.

Summarizing the month's results, it is important to note a decline in nearly all esports games. League of Legends, Dota 2, and Call of Duty lost their positions, while Valorant and Counter-Strike dropped out of the top 10 entirely.
